Chapter 617: Chapter 616: Luoyu Knife Lord
Fangwu and the rest watched helplessly as the force of palm attacks was coming their way. However, at that moment, a fierce-looking young man in a purple robe extended his hand and pointed towards their direction.
Whoosh.
All the palm attacks disappeared. The expression on the woman’s face froze as she involuntarily flew towards the man in the purple robe, finally ending up at his feet.
"What..."
Everyone’s mouth gaped open in shock.
"Young man, you better let me go."
The woman was both shocked and horrified, but she quickly composed herself.
"You must have some kind of background."
Shi Xiaole smiled playfully in response.
"You’re smart. I am the leader of the Whale Alliance. If you know what’s good for you, you’d let me go. Otherwise, the vast ocean will be your grave."
The woman said fearlessly and coldly.
"Whale Alliance?"
Zhang Ting and the others were taken aback.
The Whale Alliance was said to be an alliance, but in essence, it was a colossal group of pirates. Even the imperial family of the Flying Horse Dynasty could not handle them.
Not only did the Whale Alliance have millions of members and countless masters, but it also was suspected to have an expert from the Void Origin Realm at its helm!
The strength of a master from the Void Origin Realm was comparable to the top ten powerhouses of the dynasty, led by the Martial Emperor.
With the deterrent power of an expert from the Void Origin Realm and the fact that the Whale Alliance wasn’t as strict as other sects, it had grown incredibly fast over the years, becoming a malignant tumor in the dynasty.
Hence, many who entered the South Sea usually avoided interactions with members of the Whale Alliance and tolerated them as much as they could, in the hopes of maintaining peace.
"You still won’t let me go?"
Seeing the expressions on their faces, the woman became even more pleased.
Zhang Ting and the others did not respond, but they all turned their eyes to Shi Xiaole.
Shi Xiaole said, "There are millions of members in the Whale Alliance, but I don’t believe killing you would cause the entire alliance to take action."
Considering the vastness of the South Sea, the Whale Alliance was like a drop in the ocean. It only seemed omnipresent because it controlled several major routes.
In reality, it was said that there were many mysterious sects in the deeper parts of the South Sea, each of them immensely powerful, and not even the Whale Alliance dared to provoke them.
In Shi Xiaole’s view, having millions of members might sound intimidating, but would the Whale Alliance really investigate every death? If so, they might as well be sailing the seas all day long.
Unless, of course, the deceased was an important figure.
Shi Xiaole did not believe that this woman, with her level of ability, could be such an important figure in the alliance.
Upon hearing his words, the woman turned pale with fear: "Don’t kill me!"
She was only a minor leader in the Whale Alliance. Her status was not high but also not low. If she died mysteriously, the alliance certainly would not make a big deal about it, and would at most conduct a symbolic investigation to appease its members.
She regretted being careless. Why had she chosen to act alone, chasing after fleeting pleasures?
"You, come with me."
With a smile, Shi Xiaole turned to head towards the cabin, the woman followed him in a daze. Once they were inside the cabin, the woman suddenly knelt down and obediently called out, "Master."
"Tell me everything you know in detail."
"Yes, Master."
The woman regained her alluring demeanor, but when she looked at Shi Xiaole, it was as if she was looking at a god she worshipped.
What Zhang Ting and the others didn’t know was that Shi Xiaole had just used the Unrivaled Soul Transformation of the Life and Death Four Transformations on her, making her his most loyal subordinate.
The Unrivaled Soul Transformation was only effective when there was a difference of three levels between two people’s spiritual powers. The woman’s spiritual power was relatively weak, not even reaching the peak of Dragon Gate Realm, she was naturally easily controlled by Shi Xiaole.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Master and the Wolf Head Man’s spiritual forces were too strong, Shi Xiaole would have turned them into slaves, which would have saved him a lot of trouble.
"So, the leader above you in the Whale Alliance is an Invincible Lord?"
After listening to the woman’s story, Shi Xiaole stroked his chin.
The Lord’s List of Tian State has a total of one hundred and twenty-two Invincible Lords excluding those overseas. According to the woman, the Whale Alliance had twelve Invincible Lords, one of whom was her superior, ruling over a certain region of the sea.
In order to find Demon Sound Elder, it wouldn’t be easy for Shi Xiaole to do it on his own. Thus, the appearance of the woman gave him an idea.
Could he make use of the power of the Whale Alliance?
Shi Xiaole asked, "How far is Luoyu Island, where you are stationed, from here?"
"About thirty miles. If Master wishes to go there, Weiwei will return immediately and steer a ship to pick you up."
Shi Weiwei bowed and said.
Shaking his head, Shi Xiaole reached out and grabbed Shi Weiwei’s hand, and like a purple thread, they swept out of the window and headed straight towards the distance, soon leaving only their figures visible.
On the deck, Zhang Ting and the others watched as he left.
"Could Brother Le have been bewitched by that woman?"
One of them scratched their head.
Zhang Ting’s expression changed several times before she finally let out a cold snort through her nose.
...
Luoyu Island was nearly ten thousand meters long and wide, with numerous houses arranged across it. Teams of uniformly dressed warriors patrolled around from time to time.
The Whale Alliance had hundreds of major leaders, each responsible for a different sea area.
As the Luoyu Knife Lord, he ranked eleventh among all the Greater Leaders, ruling tens of thousands of people, and himself was an Invincible Lord. Thus, in these seas, he was as influential as the Earth Emperor.
In the heart of Luoyu Island, Luoyu Knife Lord was leaning over, polishing his blade, a solemn, expressionless look on his national character face.
"Master, the Ninth Leader has returned, he requests an urgent audience."
A servant suddenly reported.
Luoyu Knife Lord maintained his composure, nodding slightly.
Shi Weiwei strode in, and began to mysteriously say as soon as she saw him, "My Master, Weiwei has found a very interesting item, do you want to see it?"
"What’s the treasure?"
Luoyu Knife Lord paused his polishing, a ripple crossing his otherwise impassive face.
As the Lord, he indeed summons winds and commands rains. But the Whale Union is not easy to deal with, having many spies on Luoyu Island to keep a close watch. To prevent Luoyu Knife Lord from gaining overwhelming personal wealth and breaking away from their control.
As a result, Luoyu Knife Lord dared not pocket any loot during joint actions, which naturally caused resentment over time.
Luckily for him, the Shi Weiwei in front of him was a smart woman.
Each time she discovered a treasure, she would secretly tell him, and the two of them would join forces to acquire it, with him taking the lion’s share. It could be said that this woman is the person Luoyu Knife Lord trusts the most.
Hearing that she had found another treasure, and seeing her appear so mysterious and significant, Luoyu Knife Lord was immediately pleased.
At his level, normal gold, silver, and jewels had no appeal. What Luoyu Knife Lord enjoyed was the process of finding treasures and covertly acquiring them.
"Hehehe, Master, you can come with me if you dare, if you don’t come, Weiwei will go by herself."
Shi Weiwei left this message and turned to leave.
Don’t you know whether I dare or not?
Luoyu Knife Lord smirked, immediately following. He was curious to see, what sort of game is this woman playing.
The two of them took a secret passageway in Luoyu Island and dove into the water. They didn’t emerge until dozens of miles away, where a small island made its appearance.
"What are you trying to pull?"
Luoyu Knife Lord was unable to hold back his rage. Wasn’t this a subordinate island of Luoyu Island? The barren deserted island held no treasures.
Ignoring him, Shi Weiwei directly flew to the shore and landed beside a young man wearing a purple robe. It seemed that she was showing even more loyalty to this man than to Louyu Knife Lord.
"Who are you?"
A foreboding sense arose in Luoyu Knife Lord’s heart.
"Who I am isn’t important, what is important is that I want you to tell me everything you know."
Said Shi Xiaole.
"What kind of joke is that, what the hell are you?"
Bang!
Among the water splashing in all directions, Luoyu Knife Lord’s sturdy figure landed on the island, his tiger eyes shooting out intimidating blade glares at Shi Xiaole who was ten feet away: "No matter who you are, if you dare to speak to me like that, you will pay the price."
He then looked at Shi Weiwei, sneering viciously: "You stinking bitch, dare to betray me, I will cut you into a thousand pieces."
While speaking, his body unleashed an imposing aura like that of countless sharp knives, cutting the void into numerous pieces.
Being of established prestige, Shi Weiwei was imperceptibly trembling.
Honestly, she felt that her master was being too rash and impulsive.
Luoyu Knife Lord was an Invincible Lord.
Those who have never encountered him, could never comprehend his power. She has seen him divide hundreds of meters of ocean waves in half with his sword, and kill a Limit Supreme Lord thousands of miles away.
The terms ’Invincible Lord’ and ’Limit Supreme Lord’, although similar sounding, represented two completely different concepts. To many in the martial world, Invincible Lords were almost akin to being in the Divine Barrier Realm.
Of course, the difference between an Invincible Lord and a genuine Divine Barrier Realm was huge. But that was enough to illustrate how terrifying an expert at their level is!
Despite her chill, Shi Weiwei grind her teeth, but still stood in front of Shi Xiaole, gathering her strength to resist the shock from that blade aura.
Sssss.
But as soon as her Vigorous Air touched the blade aura, it was split into two. The blade aura burrowed ferociously into the cleft, as if it was about to pierce thousands of holes in Shi Weiwei.
"You stand back."
A large hand pushed Shi Weiwei behind him. Right after, an unpredictable, extremely sharp sword aura surged out from Shi Xiaole’s body.
The collision of sword aura and blade aura was like dueling sword points, instantly striking countless times, making a heart-shattering, dense noise.
Creak creak creak...!
Centered around their standing points, cracks started to appear, constantly widening, forming a chasm. Within a radius of a kilometer, the land had completely split apart.
"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, you can actually withstand my blade aura, hehe, but that way, you will die even more miserably."
From Shi Xiaole’s aura, Luoyu Knife Lord deduced, he was the top Limit Supreme Lord. Nevertheless, what could it mean? If his blade was drawn, any Limit Supreme Lord would take one path - death without exception.
Luoyu Knife Lord’s presence was growing stronger with his left hand touching the blade at his waist, and a dark-yellow, ten-feet-long blade aura suddenly appeared above his head spinning slowly.
"Kill!"
Luoyu Knife Lord gripped the knife with his five fingers, a bleak white blade aura appeared out of nowhere, shooting up and combining with the dark-yellow blade aura above his head. It looked as if he was creating heaven and earth, viciously beheaded towards Shi Xiaole.
Under this blade, distance seemed to lose its significance, and even the heavens and the earth were filled with the blade aura. Shi Weiwei behind them was pale, she desperately tried to shout a warning, but no sound came out.
"Let’s use you to test my current strength."
Within the dark-yellow world, a bundle of cyan-colored sword aura suddenly flashed.
